HENRY MAC (8) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a ninth over 1m2f at Thistledown. Boasts a good fresh record including two wins. Sure to prove tough to beat. ELLIOT THE DRAGON (3) finished fourth two runs back at Thistledown (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Worth noting L A Batista goes aboard. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. OKLAHOMA JOE (4) was well in commission last start over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) when third, beaten 6 lengths. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from six starts. One of the main contenders. BISCUITS AND GRITS (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Thistledown, beaten 0.9 lengths into fourth. Well placed to bounce back.
